The LT
®
1424-9 is a monolithic high power switching
regulator specifically designed for the isolated flyback
topology. No “third winding” or optoisolator is required;
the integrated circuit senses the isolated output voltage
directly from the primary side flyback waveform. A high
current, high efficiency switch is included on the die along
with all oscillator, control and protection circuitry.
The LT1424-9 operates with input supply voltages from
3V to 20V and draws only 7mA quiescent current. It can
deliver up to 200mA at 9V with no external power devices.
By utilizing current mode switching techniques, it pro-
vides excellent AC and DC line regulation.
The LT1424-9 has a number of features not found on other
switching regulator ICs. Its unique control circuitry can
maintain regulation well into discontinuous mode. Load
compensation circuitry allows for improved load regula-
tion. An externally activated shutdown mode reduces total
supply current to 20µA typical for standby operation.

PIN FUNCTIONS
SHDN (Pin 1):
Shutdown. This pin is used to turn off the
regulator and reduce V
IN
input current to a few tens of
microamperes. The SHDN pin can be left floating when
unused.
V
C
(Pin 2):
Control Voltage. This pin is the output of the
feedback amplifier and the input of the current compara-
tor. Frequency compensation of the overall loop is effected
by placing a capacitor between this node and ground.
SYNC (Pin 3):
Pin to synchronize internal oscillator to
external frequency reference. It is directly logic compat-
ible and can be driven with any signal between 10% and
90% duty cycle. If unused, this pin should be tied to
ground.
SGND (Pin 4):
Signal Ground. This pin is a clean ground.
The internal reference and feedback amplifier are referred
to it. Keep the ground path connection to the V
C
compen-
sation capacitor free of large ground currents.
PGND (Pin 5):
Power Ground. This pin is the emitter of the
power switch device and has large currents flowing through
it. It should be connected directly to a good quality ground
plane.
V
SW
(Pin 6):
This is the collector node of the output switch
and has large currents flowing through it. Keep the traces
to the switching components as short as possible to
minimize electromagnetic radiation and voltage spikes.
V
IN
(Pin 7):
Supply Voltage. Bypass input supply pin with
10µF or more. The part goes into undervoltage lockout
when V
IN
drops below 2.8V. Undervoltage lockout stops
switching and pulls the V
C
pin low.
R
CCOMP
(Pin 8):
Pin for the External Filter Capacitor for
Load Compensation Function. A common 0.1µF
ceramic capacitor will suffice.
